happy harvest

Hi there,

I would like to show you another fall-themed-card:


  • stamp Newton with the pumpkins on the wagon from Newton's Nook Wagon of Wishes with Versafine Onyx Black and color the image with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and Zest-it
  • for the background I wanted to emboss a single leaf matching the main image; that's where the problem started - I only had very detailed leaves that just didn't fit; the stamp set includes a leaf cluster and that was my solution; I tried to ink up only the single leaf at the corner with Versamark; I covered the inking with Zing! leaf embossing powder and used a paintbrush to clean off the unwanted parts and there I had my leaf-background
  • after heat-embossing put Distress Ink (Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade, Shabby Shutters, Tea Dye) on your craft mat and pick it up with the just created background piece
  • cut the background panel into five stripes
  • stamp the sentiment from the same stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black directly to the kraft cardbase

I am going to join the following challenges:

beautiful

Hi there,

the story of today's card is a little odd. Normally, I have an overall concept before I start creating a card but this time it was different. I wanted to try out a packing tape transfer. I used some oriental paper for this technique, which just had a little bit too much gold for my taste. The transfer worked out fine. I wanted to take it a little step further and decided to use this piece in my cutting machine and the result was a beautiful sentiment. I then decided to create a card using this sentiment and here is the result:

New Baby

Hi there,

clean and simple one layer cards are always the most difficult for me because I just like my layers and my little embellishments.

Here is today's card:



And since this step-by-step tutorial is really short, I would like to share a little trick with you:
I fill my Zest-it into an Alcohol Ink Blending Pen and use the fine tip to blend my Prismacolor Pencils. Between different colors I just draw some lines on a scrap piece of paper and the tip cleans itself.

I would like to upload this card to the following challenges:

Enjoy your Sunday.
